Beautiful painting- Beautifully original- which is not original for you- as you seem to always be. Awesome!Let's see--- it's a female art-decoish spider- (I think females are usually the ones w/the real venom- the males are often smaller and way less poisonous)-- and it's celebrating it's success in sucking the life out of it's prey. (So this must be how the fashion models keep so skeleton-like-- or is it heroin). [Is it also a fashion show runway decked w/balloons etc.?]

I love the surreal feel of this painting. It reminds me of taking children to the doctor to get their shots and then getting stickers or a treat afterwards. Here you are getting them both at once. GRIN

Thinking about this a bit further, the Gothic cathedral ceiling as spider is a wonderful touch. I'm not sure what the balloons and needle mean exactly, but it seems in keeping with the overall fear underlying the piece :).
